EdinBrrrrrrrr
I had a surprise last weekend! I was whisked away to Edinburgh for a romantic birthday weekend by the lovely Ben. (My birthday weekend was also known by some people as “Easter” this year!) We had a lovely time and did all the tourist spots, and importantly for a knitting blog, visited a couple of […]
Super Noodles!
I’ve been doing more unknitting. Or frogging, or unravelling, or unpicking to give it a few other names (that’s just the polite ones). This time I was unknitting Keats. I thought I’d show you a quicker way of actually unravelling the knitting…. All I did was start a section off then thread the end of […]

Knit for Victory!!

I would have, but I was terrified it was full of moth lavae. It went straight in the dustbin!
Its a real shame about your tumbling blocks cushion. The rest of it is still so pretty I'd be tempted…
The fronts look just fabulous, and the back calculations and planning are quite genius!
I am in awe of your skills Susan. Looking forward to seeing the finished mistresspiece. x
Oh my goodness!! What am amazing job on creating your own back design. I still haven't tried a steek yet…
